A CREATIVE CHALLENGE FOR TEENS WORLDWIDE

Climate change is the biggest issue of your lifetime. Your whole life will be lived as the impacts of global climate change are taking place. Our Contest is a call for young artists, thinkers, and activists who are concerned about the future of our human and natural communities to use their creative voices to explore, express, and advocate for issues related to climate change and our oceans.
Create a piece about a coastal/marine species, place, or system that will be threatened, altered, or lost due to climate change.
From organism to ecosystem, what are the impacts of climate change on our ocean?

Climate change requires that we think about the past, present, and future simultaneously. Because of earlier human actions, our ocean is facing real and imminent threats today; our every action—or inaction—now impacts the future of our communities and our blue planet. The effects of climate change are not something that will happen to faraway generations—it is happening now; it is happening to us. What do we stand to lose? What can we gain from learning from our past and taking steps now to create a sustainable and just future?Submissions are accepted in:
Visual Art
Poetry
Prose
Film
Music
